Naruto Paradise

Kirabi felt that his elder brother was somewhat idealistic.

"She has to help even if she doesn't want to!"

Some time ago, when the Raikage sent people to look for the missing Samui and Atsu, one of his men happened to discover the whereabouts of Princess Tsunade.

Konoha is currently unable to take care of itself, so even if it uses tough measures to force Tsunade to heal his brother's injuries, there should be no diplomatic risks.

In fact, if they could kidnap Princess Tsunade, the future war with Konoha would be much easier.

Of course, to have such a resounding name in the ninja world, Princess Tsunade must be no ordinary person.

If he could avoid conflict and get the other party to agree to treat his brother's injuries, he wouldn't interfere.

But if you refuse...

Then he had no choice but to let this Sannin of Konoha see how powerful he, the Raikage, was.

Anyway, it’s always right to use courtesy before force.

"Let's go. We don't know what happened to Samui! We must continue to find out her whereabouts when we have the chance!"

There aren't many smart Jonins in the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Raikage doesn't intend to give up on any of them.

But, they were just going to deal with an ordinary Konoha ninja team, how could they disappear without a sound?

The ninja world has been really turbulent recently.

Chapter 132: Samui's Surrender

"...fragments of a puppet."

The gateway to the Sand Village.

In the valley eroded by wind and sand, the masked Uchiha Kage saw puppet fragments mixed among the corpses of ninjas.

Use puppetry to deal with the Impure World Reincarnation?

"Sunagakure's final struggle was quite impressive, but that's all it took."

A whirlwind swept away the puppet fragments in Uchiha Kage's hands.

Then came the oncoming sandstorm.

Ahead...

Konoha's army has taken over the defense of Sand Village.

After paying the price of countless corpses, Orochimaru finally led Konoha's troops to occupy Sunagakure.

The bodies of Chiyo and Ebizo, a brother and sister who had died not long ago, were also made into new "humanoid weapons" by Orochimaru using the Impure World Transformation.

However, no matter how this war develops, it has nothing to do with the Uchiha Kage.

He just came here to do the boring work of picking up the ninja fragments dropped by these ninjas and harvesting their souls after their death.

He would hide in the dark and quietly wait for the beginning and end of each battle, and then when both sides were resting, he would run out like a ghost to absorb ninja fragments and send the souls of the dead to his own dream space.

Repeatedly.

"But there's no need to stay here now."

Most of the Sand Village ninjas have died in battle, and the rest have surrendered.

The war is over for now.

Uchiha Kage's 'work' here is coming to an end.

"It's really you."

Just as the Uchiha Kage was about to leave the valley full of corpses, a small white snake suddenly crawled out from the clothes of a dead body, and then the small snake gradually grew larger and turned into a human form.

"But, what method did you use to make my Impure World Reincarnation ineffective?"

Although Orochimaru had been fighting with the ninjas from the Sand Village during this period, he also noticed something wrong on the battlefield.

Not all corpses that he takes a fancy to can be resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation.

Among them, there was a group that showed no reaction, just like the last time when Senju Tobirama was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation.

"soul."

As expected, Orochimaru noticed it.

The Uchiha Kage raised his finger and gathered several souls wandering around to his side.

Of course, without the power of spiritualization or the power of death, it is difficult for ordinary people to see the existence of the soul.

"I took their souls."

"I see."

Orochimaru suddenly realized.

Impure World Reincarnation is a ninjutsu that summons the souls of the dead. Without the soul, the ninjutsu will naturally become ineffective.

only……

"I didn't expect you to have this ability. Is this also the eye technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Orochimaru became more and more curious about the masked guy in front of him.

I also have a greater desire for the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"My free answer service ends here, Orochimaru. Next time we meet, I might take your soul too."

Looking at the group of powerful figures of reincarnation who appeared behind Orochimaru, Uchiha Kage slowly made a seal with his hands in front of him to release the shadow clone.

"This seal...you are actually just a shadow clone?"

Thinking that the person he had been fearing and worrying about for so many days was just a shadow clone, Orochimaru used his Shadow Snake Hand at the masked man in front of him in a bit of frustration.

But a second before the attack hit the target, the opponent turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared on the spot.

"Damn it, I should have done something to him a few days ago!"

Orochimaru felt like he was being fooled after letting the opponent's shadow clone take advantage of him for so many days for no reason.

but……

Sure enough, it was because I didn't hand over the bodies of the First and Second Hokage to him as agreed, so he held a grudge against me?

This mysterious guy... Before I obtain the Uchiha, I'm afraid I won't be his opponent.

Thinking of the opponent's strength, Orochimaru had to calm down again.

Uchiha Madara... Maybe if I summon the real Uchiha Madara I can deal with this guy.

However, in order to prevent what happened to Uchiha Shisui from happening again, Orochimaru felt that he had to come up with a better way to restrict the Impure World Reincarnation this time.

"Not only did they kill so many of their ninjas, but they also captured a large number of Sand Village civilians to use as sacrifices for the evil forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation..."

After entering the Sand Village, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh when he saw the angry looks the civilians in the Sand Village gave them.

"The hatred that Sunagakure holds for Konoha will never be resolved."

"Hokage-sama, you've given us a really big problem by asking us to govern the Sand Village."

Similarly, looking at the residents of Sand Village around them who seemed to want to eat them, the Konoha ninjas, Nara Shikaku also shook his head in distress.

"And Konoha..."

If the village knew the number of casualties in this war, I'm afraid...

Nara Shikaku could imagine the scene of widespread misery.

Is all this really worth it?

It cost such a heavy price to destroy such a poor Sand Village.

Perhaps the Third Hokage was really senile and confused as the rumors said, or he was really being controlled by someone using an illusion.

"It's all Orochimaru's fault. Forbidden techniques like Impure World Reincarnation shouldn't even exist."

It was the first time that Jiraiya felt disgusted with Orochimaru from the inside out.

"Now he's even sending people to dig deep underground, intending to dig out the previous Kazekage and the former dead from the Sand Village..."

"That's crazy."

Now, it is probably impossible to govern the Sand Village.

Unless all the civilians here are killed.

But what’s the point of killing everyone here and leaving only an empty city?

It was also the first time that Nara Shikaku felt so powerless.

the other side.

Inside Konoha Village.

After mobilizing all the Anbu ninjas but still failing to find the hiding place of the escaped Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen soon found out the reason.

The only people in the entire Konoha who could do this were his other two classmates, currently Konoha's senior advisors, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En.

"Are you planning to help Danzo deal with me?"

Therefore, in order to find Danzo as soon as possible, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to summon these two Konoha consultants.

"Huruzen, don't say such harsh words. Danzo has been diligently serving the village for so many years and has done so many dirty things for you. Everyone has witnessed it. Now, for a traitor to the Uchiha clan, a traitor to Konoha, you are going to cross the river and burn the bridge, turning Danzo into a sinner of Konoha..."

"Have you ever considered the feelings of us old people?"

If he dares to deal with Danzo today, won’t he take action against these old advisors of Konoha the day after tomorrow?

This is also the reason why Utane Koharu and Mitokado En immediately helped out after receiving Danzo's request for help.

Konoha is not a one-man show under the Hokage.

Their advisors also have the right to inquire about all matters big and small in the village.

"I didn't... and the reason I went looking for Danzo this time was to revive him."

Of course, the prerequisite for reinstatement is that Danzo must show his obedience to him and stop stabbing him in the back.

"is it?"

When Mitomon En and Utane Koharu heard this, they did not believe Sarutobi Hiruzen at first.

Instead, they all showed doubtful expressions.

Is it possible that Hiruzen said this just to get them to hand over Danzo?

"You don't believe it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect that these two old classmates still doubted him.

"It's not that I don't trust you, Hiruzen, but... you were the one who did that thing with Sakumo before, right?"

Slander, magnify the stains, and let the people in the village make sarcastic remarks.

Just like Danzo today.

"Sakumo? What are you talking about?"

Didn't Hatake Sakumo commit suicide? What does that have to do with him being the Hokage?

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Utane Koharu and Mitokado En in front of him in confusion.

Didn’t these two guys also experience it back then?

What else is there to mention about this matter?

"Danzo said that you were afraid that Sakumo would force you to step down as Hokage early, so you looked for an opportunity to force him to death."

"What nonsense! How could I possibly do such a thing!?"

This guy Danzo really knows how to throw dirty water on himself.
